StarCraft II Players Banned

We recently took action, including suspensions and bans, on over 5,000 StarCraft II players who were in violation of the Battle.net Terms of Use for cheating and/or using hack programs while playing. In addition to undermining the spirit of fair competition that’s essential to play on Battle.net, cheating and hacking can lead to stability and performance issues with the service. Maintaining a stable, safe, and secure online-gaming experience for legitimate players is a top priority for us, and we'll be continuing to keep watch on Battle.net and take action as needed.

Watch out for Chipmonk player number 3350 he hacks. I played a game against him and he lost but he did some kind of hack and it said I left the game. Then he threatened to hack my account. I reported him. Hopefully battlenet will do something.

Starcraft needs to include a report button during a game session or during replays because sometimes people like me close out a game when upset and now can't report people who flame others and ruin a good game. Please watch ManBearPig, he has a mouth calling everyone noobs.
Please watch people playing Mineralz Evolution as there is a lot of flaming going on.

dear blizzard, it is taking you too long to ban people. i reported a guy for cheating 3 weeks ago, and he is still on and playing right now. how can MattO is still playing and at large. i think you should design a software that auto detect map hackers!

Everything Blizzard does is constantly legit, and since the community has risen to fight against hacks in Starcraft II, it supports them much more.. All of the bans that have been made are most likely positive to be true. If it was mistaken, then perhaps you should scan for viruses, as it is possible that a virus could show in warden, and it is to bad you lost your account.

Banning people because of a custom game.....right.... All hell will break lose when Blizzard decides to do bull!@#$ like that. Serves you right for playing such a bad custom anyway.

If people troll because their are noobs in Cortex, ban them. None deserves to be crashed in the middle of a public game or whatever. TO ALL TROLLS: Go make a private game.

I have a good definition of cheating on battle.net. Buying two different accounts and playing them simultaneously on two different computers on the same time. I have seen it tons of times, and it does violate blizzard agreement, but these players are getting away with it.

@ Meeko
Unfortunately nothing short of banning works. If you provide a refund then the hacker buys another cd and starts over. I have probably been beaten by someone using hacks unknowingly. It's frustrating because your letting the bad guys get away. It ruins an awesome game to people who don't want to
Play it the way it was meant to be played. 1 v 1 will be ruined to many players if they don't crack down on this.

My son who is NOT a cheater or hacker was banned. I have yet to receive a legitimate reason why he was banned, and am effin pissed off that something you buy can be taken away. It's like buying a TV and because you watch the wrong channel they come and take it, it's out right stealing and this type of action needs to be legally countered. I totally hate cheaters and understand there needs to be consequences, HOWEVER a temp ban would be much more realistic and fair, especially to those who may have gotten there account hacked or altered by programs unknowingly. I have had two WOW accounts hacked, and there is nothing more frustrating then working on a game for years to find some asshat has messed it up for you. A temp ban (say for a month) on these games, with instant re-temp ban for re occurring hacks/cheats would make it possible to at least reclaim your game that YOU PURCHASED, and the manufacture should be MADE to provide a COMPLETE report on WHY you were banned!!!!!!. Perma-bans should include a FULL refund. Sigh...

@Meeko: seems he is cheating if banned
Login to rate
@Meeko: No, your son don't deserve his money back if he was caught cheating. He doesn't deserve a slap on the wrist or a temp ban, either. Cheating RUINS the game for everybody on a very serious level- when he first logged onto BattleNET he was clearly told that if he cheated his account would be taken away. There is no legal counter and your comments are ridiculous- a month, instant re-temp-ban, are you kidding me? Don't you see the backwards logic in your statement on hacks? "There is nothing more frustrating then [sic] working on a game for years to find that some asshat has messed it up for you"- yeah, like those asshats that hack and drive everyone away from a game because they can't find a fair match anymore?

I know nothing about Blizzard's hack detection methods or a possible false-positive, but they have done increasingly well over the years in keeping cheaters out. If they are confident enough to ban without "COMPLETE report" I say GOOD JOB BLIZZARD, don't waste your time placating CHEATERS when you could be working on CATCHING MORE OF THEM. This is both realistic and fair.
